Default Expression of gratitude

It has been a little over a week since the RedNeck Roundup and I have finally gotten a good nights sleep. After leaving Will's I had to come home to prepare four cars for the AACA Grand National and National Meet held this past weekend thus I haven't had much sleep or time to express my gratitude to Will and Peggy for the great meet they hosted. They hosted above and beyond their call and a great time was had by all. I had the opportunity to meet several new friends and learned many new things. I would also like to thank all those who helped me with the Rolls body. The food was fantastic and plentiful, especially the homemade ice cream and the people attending were of the highest quality. Thanks again to all who made this meet a great success.

Default Pictures of the Hendricks Motorsports Shop

I have with held posting these pictures until I got approval from the Fab shop manager. These were taken when Per and I visited them.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity proved by a young man that started working for me painting some Bill Elliott cars, and moved his way up the ladder at Hendricks Motorsports.

This is where the chassis are built and the bodies installed for all four of the Hendricks Teams. The 'spider' looking assemblies are the templates used to monitor body alignment.

Thanks John, Dan and Will for your advice! The blade is sharp, but the gap and angles? Who knows. I will know what to look for now.

Brent, those were made by David Boles, who visits this site on occasion. He will be glad to know that you appreciate them. I actually ended up with your post dolly set up and have also used it several times already. Thank you for participating in the tool exchange. All of us that did enjoyed it this year.
